Then again, consider almost *all* the sf films of the 1970s. And I like ZARDOZ, but I take it to be a psychedelic farce. HOW DID THIS GET MADE the podcast is about to do their treatment of it.
Of course, I haven't looked at the list yet, and fully expect boring fluff such as STAR WARS, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS, ALIEN and even SILENT RUNNING to ride high.
Geez Louise, did I call it or what? That STARCRASH and CATTLECAR GALAXATIVE (I think that was Spider Robinson's name for it) are on the list at all is indicative of what ROLLING STONE has been good for for quite some time. They lucked into a few decent films, such as SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE.
George Lucas, talking to Robert Redford at the Sundance Film Festival, confirmed the dark suspicions of many fans: 'I really have no interest in science fiction at all.' (Independent, 30 January) But after deploring the 'circus'-like insubstantiality of too many recent films, he stoutly added: 'If you go into Star Wars and see what's going on there, there's a lot more substance than circus.'

ZARDOZ is #6? Maybe if it was a list of six. Otherwise, you have GOT to be kidding.

In fact, their list in general sucks.
Jeff
To me that #6 was a tip-off.
No.
